We modified the tower to attach it directly to the studs in the closet. Also we preferred it to rest in the closet floor vs. using the system provided with the tower that raises it above. Was very easy to assemble. Most of the time was spent making sure we had it level. We extended the top to reach across the full length of the closet by hand trimming one of the spare shelves to reach to the right side of the closet. We also hand trimmed the hanging rods to create three hanging sections vs. 1. With the drawers we upgraded the closet usability and the fashionista loves this upgrade. On a side note when we first inserted the drawers they were a little off and it turned out to be the drawer faces. Just a note in case your drawers look off centered. Check the drawer face to make sure they are level.
